No. This is the only time I’ve ever seen this recommendation on this forum.
On your rest days, just rest. Don’t do anything. If you jelq or do anything strenuous, then it isn’t a rest day.
The ultimate guide to what you should be doing is your own penis. The guidelines are important, especially for newbies like you, but they are just that - guidelines. The most important thing is to pay attention to your EQ. For example, if you can do 3 days on and 1 day off and continue to have good EQ everyday, then that routine. If that is too much for good EQ, then try and 2 days on, one off. Experiment.
The importance of rest cannot be emphasized highly enough. It is a necessary component for gaining. So doing PE everyday will not speed up your progress - mostly likely, it will slow it down. I know this may seem counter-intuitive, but this is the experience of most (if not all) who have made any significant gains.
Plus, as someone else has indicated. Pumping everyday causes temporary fluid build-up (that plump puffyness) in the penis that not only gives the false impression of growth, it is also counter-productive to making gains. So you need to rest and let this temporary plump dissipate.
